1/23/2011 - We're experiencing delays in shipping as we're in the middle of moving to larger quarters. Please accept our apologies. Arcadecomponents.com is a family run business and part of this move is that we keep growing and growing. We're building a new workshop and storage building and this is taking time and coordination to keep everything flowing.
9/16/2010 - We've added some bipolar RAMs to inventory and added a search box on our home page. The search function has been tested with Firefox, IE 7 and 8, Opera, and Chrome. We hope this will make it easier for you to find the parts you need.

6/27/09 - Our shipping department will be closed for the next 8 business days while we take inventory and prep products.

9/9/08 - We're branching out into A/V interface kits for older game consoles. We designed a custom circuit board for an existing composite video mod for Colecovision systems. The board is 1.04 x .97 inches in size and will be very easy to install. The boards are on order and should be here in 3 to 4 weeks.
9/6/08 - Stay tuned for more custom ICs - this time for arcade games. We've been selling various custom chips to members of several online forums and it's time to start adding these to the site.
8/6/08 - It's been a long time since we've sold anything on eBay. Their feedback policy changes where sellers cannot leave feedback for buyers has officially run us off from selling there.

9/1/07 - The Texas State Comptroller's office has revised our beloved state's sales tax requirements and it goes into effect today. This means instead of 8% sales tax we have to charge Texas residents 8.25% tax.
7/18/07 - We've added a links page and will populate it with links to other very helpful sites. We've also been feverously adding parts to inventory. This will take some more time but once it's done we will be adding a lot of new SKUs to the web site.
6/6/07 - The shipping and handling costs of products have been changed due to the rate changes with the US Postal Service that went into effect on May 14th, 2007.
Italy now has International Priority Flat Rate shipping! Now it's all you can stuff into a flat rate envelope (well... up to 4 pounds) for one price.
We will still ship less than 1lb to Canada via Air Letter Post as this will save you on shipping and the speed of delivery is similar. Heavier shipments (up to 4lbs) will now be via International Priority Flat Rate shipping.

Shipments to the USA are via USPS Priority Mail (including Flat Rate for heavier shipments.)

11/12/06 - Inventory continues to grow! We've added a lot of Atari ICs to stock and will be slowly adding these to the website.
9/26/06 - New SKUs have been added for various sound ICs and EPROMs. We are still going through all the chips purchased back in May. We will soon be adding NOS (New Old Stock) PROMs to the site - including some VERY hard to find ones!
9/23/06 - We have acquired (and fixed!) an old Data I/O PROM programmer. We can now program many older PROM ICs and oddball EPROMs that are too old for our other programmer. (Motorola 68764 / 68766 anyone?)
9/20/06 - Repair Services now offered on many "old school" computer logic boards!
9/19/06 - Now shipping to France, Great Britain, Israel, and Portugal via USPS Global Priority Mail. Soon we will add every country supported by USPS Global Priority Mail. For now, please contact us if we don't ship to your country yet and we can add your country into the shopping cart.
8/4/06 - Wow - We are going through all the components purchased and have found quite a few rare ICs - PALs, PROMs, TTL to MOS coverters, and more. These will be added to our inventory over time.
7/9/06 - Added a new page to the site today - a "Repair Log" page that lists things we've done in repairing systems.
7/1/06 - Received a large shipment of Commodore 64 and VIC-20 parts computers from the storage locker of an old repair center. These will be tested and added to inventory soon.
5/14/06 - We added shipping pricing for shipping via USPS Priority Mail to the USA and for shipping via USPS Air Letter Post for packages to shipped to Canada. All USPS Priority Mail shipments to the USA will include the Post Office's Delivery Confirmation option. We are also through updating the inventory on all pages except for the EPROM/SRAM/DRAMs and the 74xx logic. (Not to mention all the ICs/etc from the store buyout...)
5/12/06 - A local store has been phasing out their inventory of electronic components and we bought out every IC, diode, transistor, SCR, FET, etc. that they had. It will easily quadruple our inventory and may take us a couple of months to get it all sorted out. We will be stocking all of the 74xx/4xxx logic ICs, the cpu/memory/peripheral ICs, and common transistors/diodes used for power supply and monitor repair. Every other component will be resold either to other local parts stores or on our eBay auctions.
5/2/06 - Whew. Lots of items have been added & sorted into our inventory. We will be revamping the organization of these on the pages. For example, we have over 130 different types of 74xx logic chips in inventory. We should have the online inventory updated over the next 2 to 3 weeks.
4/1/06 - We keep growing! Local sales/repair of arcade games in the Dallas, TX Metroplex area made it necessary to add on a new workshop facility.
3/19/06 - Still getting items into inventory... Whew... Also added are descriptions of symptoms for failing Commodore ICs (Thanks to a doc by Ray Carlsen of Carlsen Electronics!) - If you aren't sure which chip to replace, take a look at the symptoms listed for each. We also added 27C1024 EPROMs into inventory. These can be programmed as a new BIOS ROM for Neo Geo systems.
2/28/06 - Wow! The inventory of ICs has tripled in the last 2 months. There are a lot of new SKUs that will be coming online in March as well as some rearranging of the web pages. Various pre-programmed ROM ICs will be broken out into their own page, some Neo Geo items will be added to various pages, and we will add more items to our special purchase items page.
1/1/06 - Happy New Year! In bringing in the new year we are expanding inventory and adding more EPROMs, SRAMs, DRAMs, CPUs & Support ICs, and 74xx Logic.
11/24/05 - Have you wondered how to contact us? We now have a new "Contact Us" page with a form that can be easily filled out. We do apologise for not having our email addresses posted, this form is simply meant to help with keeping our addresses away from SPAM bots that crawl the web for email addresses.
11/23/05 - You can now find us on eBay under the seller ID "arcadecomponents"! We also added additional RAM and CPU/Support ICs to inventory today.
8/3/05 - Everything is up and running! I will be working more and more on the site over the next few weeks to add more site content and more inventory. Thanks for your patience in getting everything running!
8/2/05 - Well, technically it is 8/2 since it's now past midnight... PayPal payments are working but credit card payments are not. I'm waiting on tech support. Hope to get it solved by 8/3/05 at the latest.
8/1/05 - The site is up! WOW - It took awhile to get everything in the ready inventory online and to get pictures up. The remaining pictures will be put up over the next week and there are items still left to be sorted through and put into inventory.
